    Behind The Scenes.

     

    commonrepresentation.org.uk is currently engaged in research and media projects.

    Thank you to all our visitors from across the United Kingdom and overseas.

    We hope you have found your visit informative.

     

  2. The Rule of Law

     

    The reply from the Advocate-General further confirms that MP’s authority remains intact in them as exercised by constituency election in the 2010 General Election.

    Any MP who now wants to legally remove their constituency from representation in the Union Parliament must resign their seat and contest a by-election as an abstentionist candidate.

     

  3. Authority (Singular).

     

    Either

     The electorate decides if the 59 MP’s in Scotlandhave the authority to sit in the Union Parliament

    Or

    the referendum decides if the 59 MP’s in Scotlandhave the authority to sit in the Union Parliament.

     Both cannot be right.

  4. The purpose of the Scottish Referendum is to prevent parliamentary

    elections in the 59 Constituencies in Scotland.

     The supporters of the detachment and separation of Scotland

    are against parliamentary election because they were defeated at the last general election in 2010 and support a referendum because it prevents election and can be controlled by the politicians who remain in executive power and do not have to answer to the electorate – who have been locked out of parliamentary representation. 

    We must have a General Election.

  5. You heard it here first: UK Breaking up.

    Welsh devo propaganda machine fuelled by Scottish Referendum pushes for control over Home affairs, 80 AM’s and Assembly to be a “Parliament”.

  6. Your Vote Is Cancelled.

     Electors in Scotland’s 59 constituencies have had their 2010 general election decision to be part of the Union cancelled. 

    MP’s have Ordered (Scottish Referendum Order) that constituency election is replaced by a referendum although they will remain as MP’s before, during and after the referendum. 

    There has been:

    No 2010 Manifesto referendum commitment

    (by Conservative or Labour parties)

    No Green Paper,

    No White Paper,

    No Bill,

    No Constitutional Bill

    No Constitutional Debate

    No Act of Parliament

     

    The  Scottish Referendum Order unanimously Passed by:  

    Conservative Party

    Labour Party,

    Liberal Party,

    etc.

    in the

    House of Commons and

    the House of Lords.

  7. Michael Moore has been challenged to withdraw part of the speech he made in the House of Commons during the Scottish Referendum Order debate. In the debate he claimed that the SNP had secured a mandate for a referendum on the Union. This could not have been the case as the 1998 Scotland Act explicitly prevents the Union from being a matter for mandate in a Scottish Parliament election.

  8. Conservative and Labour support the referendum device

    Why?

    No election takes place.

    No one is elected.

    No government is removed or replaced.

    No opposition is removed or replaced.

    No MP is held to account by the electorate.

    No MP is removed or replaced.

    No other parties can put their manifesto to the electorate for approval.

     British Parliamentary Democracy - election not referendum

  9. Scottish Referendum Order (unamendable) (No White Paper/No Bill/No Act of Parliament) passes -ConLabLibSnp etc united/no division called - Referendum mechanism to replace 4 million constituency electors in Scotland from deciding if their MP should sit (or not sit) in the Union Parliament. Scottish Referendum - It's plastic democracy: cheap and easy to mould.

  10. Scottish Referendum-

    No White Paper. No Bill. No Act. 

    No Parliamentary Democracy 

    (Scottish Referendum Order in Council due in House of Commons Tue 15th and House of Lords Wed 16th of January 2013)

    In 2010 59/59 constituencies in Scotland voted to be represented in the Union Parliament. 

    In January 2013 the government will legislate to hold a referendum that will prevent four million electors in Scotland deciding the matter again as they did in 2010 – through constituency election. 

    This legislation is known as an Order in Council (OiC) it is being used in order to avoid full parliamentary debate.

     On a matter of the highest constitutional importance:

    no Green Paper, no White Paper, no Bill, and no Act of Parliament will exist

    but still it will become law unless it is stopped.

     Quote

    Erskine May

    “It is common practice for government bills of ‘first-class’ constitutional importance to be committed to a Committee of the whole House”

  11. ‘First Class Constitutional Importance"

    Erskine May

    “It is common practice for government bills of ‘first-class’ constitutional importance to be committed to a Committee of the whole House”

    The amendment to the Scotland Act 1998 to give legal power to the Scottish Parliament on the matter of the Union of the Kingdoms of Scotland and England and the Parliamaent of the United Kingdom is to take place not through a Constitutional Bill but through an Order in Council.

  12. Electors sense that Police Commissioners are alien to the British parliamentary tradition  and refused to participate.

     Police Commissioner elections turnout: only 12/100 to 20/100 electors participate.

     Electors abstention power on the rise against the devo- parties.

    Abstention becoming widespread across Devo, European elections and referendums.

  13. The Order In Council proposed to amend Schedule 5 and permit the Scottish Parliament to legislate on the matter has not yet been passed.

    The matter of the the Union remains legally an exclusive matter for the British Parliament

    However

    The Scottish Parliament’s recently set up Referendum (Scotland) Bill Committee has now voted to support the Edinburgh Agreement proposals to give the Scottish Parliament the power to hold a referendum on the Union.  This is now subject to a vote by the Scottish Parliament.

  14. The House of Commons is to have no full (updated 18Nov 2012) debate on whether the Scottish Parliament should be made competent on the matter of a referendum in Scotland replacing parliamentary election as the method of determining the representation or non representation of the 59 constituencies in Scotland in the Union Parliament.

     An Order in Council (OIC) is being used to avoid constitutional debate.

     No Order in Council  (OIC) to permit an amendment to the Schedule 5 of the 1998 Scotland Act (which reserves the matter of the Union to the Union Parliament) has yet been approved by Her Majesty.

    Without the OIC the Scottish Parliament is not competent on the matter of the Union – it remains tied to the provisions of the Scotland Act 1998.

    The Scottish Parliament has now set up a committee: Referendum (Scotland) Bill Committee.

  15. The sham - elections for Police Commissioners in England and Wales and the introduction of proportional representation in Scotland’s local councils in 2007 (3-4 councilors for every elector instead of one) are an attack on local representational democracy.

    Local Policing requires to remain in the scope of the local council which represents the local electorate.
